AHHHHH.....turn it off!! [Posted on 2008-07-16] I just used these for the first time tonight at the gym. Where do I start...the ear buds fell out of my ears about every 2 minutes. It also hurt everytime I stuck them back in. The sound is extremely cloudy. I figured maybe the EQ was off on my iPod, but nope, that was not the case. I tested all different settings on the EQ for 6 songs and they all sounded cloudy. There needs to be more treble in these things. The bass was peaking on a few songs when the volume wasn't that high. The sound quality overall sounds like you're listening to music through a pillow. I am so pissed that I spent $20 bucks on these dinky things. Don't bother wasting your money on these, especially if you plan to use them while being active.
sound great but hurt! [Posted on 2008-07-18] I think these sound great. But my ears really hurt after about 10 minutes of wearing them. The earpieces are pretty hard. I tried both sets of earpieces and neither work for me. I don't see how folks can wear these for an extended period of time. I've been looking for some softer covers, but haven't had any luck. I even tried making some out of a pair of earplugs - but that didn't work well at all. I've tried positioning them all different kinds of ways, and they either fall out or are just too painful. If I'm missing something, then please tell me, because I do like the sound.
Best I've Ever Owned. [Posted on 2008-08-10] These buds produce great sound and I like the way they stick right in your ear canal because I can never get the other type of ear buds to stay in place. They're also quite durable. I've always had a tendency to go through any kind of headphones or ear buds like dental floss, but these last quite a long time.
Terrible sound [Posted on 2008-08-23] These headphones provide a terrible sound. I definitely would not recommend them.
The Philips SHE5910 model is much better, at the same, or lower, price.
Save your money! [Posted on 2008-09-06] I thought i was getting an awesome deal on these when I got them for $4.50. i wasnt expecting much; just something light, comfortable, and compact for running, biking, etc. well these are indeed light and fairly compact, but what let me down was the comfort (there is none!) and quality (poor).
These earbuds are just an itch above those crappy buds you get with an ipod. they are more comfortable than ipod buds, but just bairly. they dont feel like they fit my ears very well, though the do feel snug enough for active use.
As for sound quality, this are not great. Again they are just a smidge better than the generic ipod buds. they don't come close to my Sony noise canceling buds or Audio-Technica over-ear headphones, but then again, I didnt expect them to.
Over all, I would say they aren't worth more than $10. Other people may have better opinions of these earbuds, but after using head/earphones that cost 20x more than these, i expect better performance.
